5:03 pm
been wise as a journalist with the middle east he says it's a culture of impunity among israeli forces that's leading to the deaths of unarmed palestinians like the journalist yes i'm more to give. yes there was shots clearly identified as press at least one hundred i've seen some estimates of three hundred meters away from the perimeter fence of the gaza strip so one possibility is that he was shot deliberately and we should remember and viewers should remember that the israeli army routinely targets palestinian journalists for arrest detention closes down radio studios in the context the gaza strip on previous occasions has bombed media outlets and is justified these kinds of policies and attacks in terms of targeting quote unquote incitement to terrorist media course the other possibility is that yes it was shot accidentally in terms of him not being the intended target of that specific soldiers bullet but then that completely undermines the israeli army's talking points with respect to the last eight days of bloodshed if it was an accident as it were then the army is firing admitting that
5:04 pm
it's firing live ammunition into unarmed civilian protesters without knowing who it's hitting i think one of the main reasons why we've seen so many an armed palestinian civilian protesters killed and maimed over the last eight days is because there is systematic impunity in the israeli military israeli soldiers who sadly of the undeniably routinely shoot palestinian civilians in both the occupied west bank and the gaza strip do not face consequences for their actions and together with open fire regulations that human rights groups like human rights watch and amnesty international have all condemned as illegal with respect to international law the combination of those very loose and illegal open fire regulations plus a culture of systematic impunity means that you have trigger happy soldiers who know they will not face consequences and hospitals in gaza have declared a state of emergency because of a severe shortage of supplies doctors are struggling to treat more than thirteen hundred palestinians who've been injured by live fire from israeli forces over the
5:05 pm
past week. has more from outside one hospital in gaza. the problem is not only the types of insisting but this sheer volume of injured to a arrive at the hospital in a very short span of time now bear in mind that under normal circumstances the health system here in gaza suffers from shortages about forty five percent when it comes to drugs about twenty seven percent when it comes to equipment now when you are under this type of crisis this system is completely overwhelmed you also have to bear in mind that these hospitals to get what they need they have to go through a very complicated system gaza has to put in a request to to palestinian authority in ramallah once that is approved then the palestinians have to put forward that request to the israelis who will have the final say on what comes in or not in to do gaza strip now there's also another
5:06 pm
issue some of the wounded need to go somewhere else to get treatment and that again goes through a very complicated system of approvals via ramallah the palestinian authority and again via israel or indeed egypt some of them would like to cross through the rough our border which is most closed and open since a few years so it is a very complicated system doctors are overwhelmed the shiva hospital here which is the main hospital in the gaza strip has declared a state of emergency and the world has organization says there's actually two million dollar worth of drugs and essential supplies that that urgently needed to be able to treat already those who have been wounded over the past two weeks and then you have to bear in mind that this is just the second week of a six week long campaign the more wounded are expected more casualties are expected and doctors are really wondering how they going to do that how they're going to
5:07 pm
tackle that issue. well the demonstrations in gaza inspiring more people to protest it's also reminding palestinians of previous struggles mama jump jim reports from ramallah and the occupied west bank. in gaza palestinian demonstrators did what they could to frustrate israeli security forces. burning tires to obscure the view of soldiers using mirrors in an attempt to blind snipers tactics that reminded many of an earlier era of resistance i'm so proud of the fact that now all palestinian groups including hamas you had thought that if anybody i don't think this up a lot of peaceful nonviolent resistance which has proven to be the most effective way of dealing with that is that a patient with dealing with that is that a little bit ashamed of the palestinian people and this definitively brings us back to thirty principles said for the alliance and for going to sion and defiance of. these exactly what are the three principles that govern the feds and the fatah and
5:08 pm
that led to changing the balance of power. in the first intifada which began in december one thousand nine hundred seven marked the first time that palestinians from all parts of society began such an intense resistance to israeli occupation. in the beginning boys threw rocks and people marched later fighters began attacking israeli soldiers and military targets it ended in one thousand nine hundred three and by the time it was over more than one thousand one hundred people had died tires were also burned in the occupied west bank just outside the illegal israeli settlement of beit el where a small crowd of palestinian protesters gathered. throughout the day it was a game of cat and mouse that has become almost a regular occurrence on fridays after prayer incoming tear gas from israeli security forces would force them to run only to return a short time later hurling rocks despite calls by palestinian political factions
5:09 pm
for residents of the occupied west bank to come out and protest today attendance at the demonstrations was relatively low which really underscores a growing like a faith and palestinian political leadership activists say palestinian officials need more than ever to build trust one of the main things is just like to show them . met honestly away from the situation to to executive people what are we can go out of the situation to see to see people want to see an end to twenty five years of useless. but hectic negotiations that has been in the dust of the situation while officials may be disappointed at the dearth of demonstrators outside gaza they also feel their message this time will resonate with the international community what helps us a lot is the social media that ability of young palestinians to use social media and that on some it. actually. objectivity ality on the ground the fact that
